Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

While he was excited, Zero also discovered something different about this bug.

Just like all the ants before, it can only accept orders and cannot actively communicate with Zero.

Sure enough, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

The fat bugs can only communicate but cannot fight. The lean bugs look good at fighting but cannot communicate.

This is very scientific.

Zero was not disappointed. On the contrary, after seeing this kind of bug, Zero finally understood roughly what kind of structure the Zerg race was.

Obviously, this insect with well-developed limbs and a height of seventy or eighty centimeters when standing upright is the Zerg combat unit. It is undoubtedly responsible for fighting and protecting important units and facilities of the Zerg.

So, what is this important unit and facility?

Zero looked at the insect that squirmed twice and then became motionless as if it was paralyzed by fatigue, and then looked at the ugly and unusual hatchery.

"It must be them, right?"

Zero looked at the abnormally fat bug and felt that it couldn't be that simple. The Zerg combat units look very intimidating, there is no reason they are protecting a piece of trash!

He began to observe the bug carefully. At first, because he was a little prejudiced against their appearance as trash, he did not take a good look at it.

It was only then that he gradually discovered some details.

The fat body of this insect is not its abdomen or chest or other parts, but its brain!

A bug not much bigger than a basketball has more than 90% of its body parts being its brain!

Zero suddenly realized that no wonder it could communicate with him directly using brain waves. It turned out to be this reason.

Zero continued to communicate with it and finally came to some conclusions.

After that powerful insect appeared, it seemed to have discovered more.

From the information it transmitted to Zero, there was some hesitation in saying that it could order the other party!

Zero was greatly surprised. If this was true, then he had completely underestimated this insect.

Zero immediately let him try. Although his tone was calm, his heart was already fluctuating.

Next, he completely gave up contact with the fighting bug, which was equivalent to temporarily giving up control of the bug.

Then, Zero was surprised to see this bug running to the edge of the cave, using the spikes on its head to bring back a bunch of food and send it to the other bug.

Ling was surprised to see it, but at the same time, a huge wave was stirred up in his heart.

Because this is obviously not its spontaneous behavior!

This fat bug can actually command another bug to act according to its wishes. How could he not know what this means?

This means that it is a bug that can command the Zerg and possesses intelligence!

If it weren't for its absolute obedience to zero, he even thought it might be another self!

It seems that this bug with a huge brain must be the commander of the Zerg tribe!

Zero came to a conclusion in his mind, and he finally completely changed his impression of this bug.

He is actually not good at directing the ants to fight, which was already reflected in the war with the termites.

Zero himself knew this very well, but for a long time, there was no ant species in the ant tribe that could shoulder this important task, so he had to end it himself.

If the Zerg has a wise man with wisdom, then he can divide part of the command authority.

Of course, before that, he had to test the priority of command authority between the Zerg leader and him, and... give it a name.

Since it has been able to achieve this level, there is no doubt that it can no longer be regarded as an ordinary bug. It should be a semi-independent individual attached to Zero. In addition to its absolute loyalty to the master, it also has its own thinking.

Therefore, it deserves a name of its own.

"It seems that this species should be the brain of the Zerg race, so let's call it the brain worm." Zero pondered in his heart. However, the brain worm is the name of their entire species, and it also needs a unique name.

At this juncture, there will always be some strange information that comes to mind. The moment I think of naming, many thoughts suddenly emerge.

"Why not, let's call him Sass."

Zero has long been accustomed to this kind of information suddenly appearing in his mind. Now that it has appeared, let's call it this. It is better than calling No. 1.

This is the first sufficiently intelligent creature to appear among the people under his control since Zero's appearance, and Zero feels that it deserves a name.

As for the bodyguard who was just a muscular bodyguard, he obviously did not receive such a high salary and was just named Warrior at will.

Cerebrates and warriors are the only two arms that the Zerg have obtained since their birth. Zero does not know the specific abilities and characteristics of each of them. He only knows that Sass can directly command the warriors, and his command authority is second only to Zero.

Zero has done experiments. When it and Sass issue orders to the Warriors at the same time, the Warriors will directly execute Zero's orders. This shows that Sass has no way to command the Zerg race beyond Zero. He still has absolute control over the race. This is also in line with his understanding of the Zerg master. If the master cannot absolutely control the Zerg, it would be a big joke.

And Sass himself seems to be a little surprised that he can command the warrior, and he keeps making the only warrior at the moment make all kinds of weird actions.

It seems that it doesn't know what its ability is, and it only understands this one at present.

Zero put in more food to hatch a few more bugs, and found that they were all warriors, and no more brain bugs were hatched.

He is a little strange, but now it seems that he no longer needs to make blind guesses. The appearance of Sass at least gives him a person to ask and discuss.

Finally, through some information obtained from it, Ling Luo finally came to a conclusion after thinking and sorting it out.

The brainworm is completely different from other Zerg units. Its hatching does not depend on the hatchery itself, but on an unknown and strange substance. This substance can only be produced at an extremely slow speed during the growth of the brainworm. I don’t know what it is, so I simply call it a mysterious substance.

For a long time from now on, Zero didn't know what it was.

It was not until later, when the Zerg finally came into contact with the extremely mysterious realm of the soul, that he was able to gradually uncover the mystery of this substance.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

In other words, if Zero wants to hatch a second brainworm, he can only do so by waiting for Sass to grow up and accumulate enough mysterious substances.

Zero was a little disappointed. It seemed that Sass was indeed a high-level existence among the Zerg, and it was so rare. It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, it will be the only brainworm in the Zerg race.
